I sell lots of things to hardware stores. Retail stores keep track of items by their own internal number. We refer to those numbers as 'customer numbers' because we have lots of customers and customers each have their own numbers. They each call them the SKU number aka STOCK KEEPING UNIT. I had 450 image files listed by model number(our number) that needed to be changed to customer numbers(their number). Here's how i did it. Create an excel spreadsheet with current filename(with file extension) in column A Put the filename you want in column B. Put an equation in column C that is "ren " and column A and " " and column B. spreadsheet should look like this: Current Filename Filename You Want ="ren "&A1&" "&B1 10036.jpg B000HJDBAU.pt01.jpg ren 10036.jpg B000HJDBAU.pt01.jpg 10038.jpg B000VRDIA6.pt01.jpg ren 10038.jpg B000VRDIA6.pt01.jpg 10040.jpg B000BQ7UW4.pt01.jpg ren 10040.jpg B000BQ7UW4.pt01.j

Something Ventured is a great ride through the 50's, 60's, and 70's of venture capital and entrepreneurship. Its the techcrunch and pandodaily of our time because it eloquently frames the businesses and deals in a format comparable to current companies. You can tell that money and value grows in the same pace as memory grows in technology. it doubles every 18 months. if one company is worth 50million today, the next biggest company will be double. ok maybe thats a stretch. but you can tell that powerpoint was the instagram or siri of our time. being purchased and swallowed into huge companies to become giant parts of the business. there are always businesses that have had bullshit ideas that pivoted and created a valuable business. There are also genius ideas that truly satisfy a huge need and reduce friction for current lifestyles. Basically, its a great documentary for anyone that reads techcrunch/venturebeat/pandodaily/mashable/AOL(jk)...

So far i have not seen any good plugins to delete old comments.  My website thatmusicblog.com was on autopilot for a year without akismet and racked up literally 484,000 comments.

People are constantly finding more ways to spend less money on cable/comcast without giving up the content. All the content providers and networks are making fantastic content but none of them are pushing it out there. Eventually things we dream about will come true, our questions will be answered. Why can't i watch this hockey game on the internet. Why can't i watch it on my xbox? why can't i watch it on my PS3/ROKU/boxee/etc. I think there needs to be an open-source distributor, who literally only keeps enough money to pay the bills and expand.

I get excited about Ecommerce, because there's so much potential! we have smartphones suggesting restaurants when we walk by them on the street, but 99.99% of retail stores don't have active live inventory updated on their ecommerce stores. I'd say i've never seen a retail store that did this because it hasn't been easy. Behold the future; Your warehouse-manager/Receiving-clerk will scan-in inventory as they normally do, and it will instantly be published to your website. Anyone following that item can be notified. The copy/content is pulled from other websites. Basic product knowledge is not protected by copyright, as it is common knowledge. When someone buys online, a big red light will appear, or a sound will be made on the stereo, or something similar that the owner chooses. That way they'll know to remove an item from the shelf. the label will be printed, the box will be suggested. Use Spree as your E-Commerce Platform Pay someone to install Spre

Gopro makes it possible for "1-button" recording. Instead of turning on, then pressing the record button, again to stop recording, and another button to turn off. You can make the settings so that it starts recording when you turn it on. Below is the instructions. CHOOSING ONE BUTTON MODE ON / OFF "one button mode on" forces the camera to automatically begin recording video or photos once the camera is turned on, depending on which default power up mode the camera is set to. In "one button mode On" the camera is either "on and recording". or powered off. This simplifies camera operation when loaning the camera to friends or when you know you only want to shoot in one mode. The shutter button is disabled in "One Button Mode" and will not start or stop the recording while the camera is on. "One Button Mode" is convenient when you only want to shoot one type of video and prefer to simplify operation of the camera to be o
